1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: So incoming President elect Donald Trump has met with Biden

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: at the White House in the Oval Office fireside, and

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: boy Mitch McCann is with us. That fire was absolutely cranking.

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,079
Speaker 2: Yes, I know what is freezing over here, Ryan, It

5
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,159
Speaker 2: looked like a beautiful morning in the White House for

6
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 2: an awkward conversation. I think we've all had awkward meetings

7
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 2: in our life, but perhaps not as awkward as we

8
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 2: expected that one to be between Joe Biden and Donald Trump,

9
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 2: although it seems on the surface of it they were

10
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 2: happy families. Joe Biden said to Donald Trump, well, mister

11
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 2: President elect, former President Donald congratulations, and he said, welcome

12
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 2: back to the White House, and Donald Trump responded, politics

13
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 2: is tough in many cases, not a very nice world.

14
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 2: But it is a nice world today and I appreciate

15
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 2: it very much. So a lot of smiles and a

16
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 2: lot of handshakes between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, perhaps

17
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: a little bit unexpected, Ryan, seeing it seems like they

18
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 2: despise each other usually.

19
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a little weird, a little and I

20
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: did wonder whether they'd put this. I counted seven logs

21
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: on that fire. I hate to keep going on about

22
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: it was that like a metaphor for democracy burning. You know,

23
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: it's possible.

24
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 2: I didn't even know it was a real fire, but

25
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 2: it looked very nice. I'd rather be there this.

26
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: Morning, cranking. Let's talk about aviation suspending flights they have

27
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: out of the US to Haiti.

28
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. America's aviation regulator, that is, the FAA,

29
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 2: has suspended flights to Haiti for thirty days now. That

30
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 2: country has been embroiled in chaos for some time now.

31
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: It's estimated by the UN that more than three thousand,

32
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 2: six hundred people have been killed in Haiti since January. Essentially,

33
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 2: the problem is it has been overrun by gangs at

34
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 2: the moment. But three American aircraft, Jet Blue, Spirit and

35
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 2: American Airlines were all hit by bullets on Monday after

36
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: flying to the capital, portou Prince. So the FAA has

37
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: now said for thirty days, no American flights are going

38
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 2: to Gobia.

39
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: All right, Mitch, thank you very much for that much.

40
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: Mccinl live from New York. Just so that you know,

41
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter apparently grew up around wood burning systems throughout

42
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: his childhood, so when he got to the White House,

43
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: he installed six wooden stoves wood stoves around the building,

44
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: so there you go. They're still in operation today, apparently.
